Bournville is a novel by Jonathan Coe that tells the story of a Birmingham family across several generations, from World War II to the COVID-19 pandemic. The plot focuses on how the historical and social events of Great Britain impact the lives of the characters, exploring themes such as memory, national identity, and cultural changes. With a satirical and moving style, Coe offers a portrait of contemporary British society through the lens of an apparently simple family.
Jonathan Coe is an English novelist and writer. His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire. For example, What a Carve Up! (1994) reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name. It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources that was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
